SAMANA SANTORINI

Samana Santorini is a Samana apartment building in Dubai Sports City, sold off-plan from AED 700,000 upwards. It is a new launch rather than a resale, so the price is paid in stages under the developer's sales agreement over the construction period.

An entry price of this order in Dubai Sports City usually means compact apartments, so the questions to ask are which unit type opens the range, what it measures and which floor it is on. We read the unit schedule for sizes, note the projected service charge and look at how earlier buildings by the same developer in the same district have let and resold. An off-plan purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department in the buyer's name during construction and the instalments sit in a regulated escrow account, and we confirm both before a reservation, along with the instalment dates in the sale and purchase agreement.

If the AED 700,000 entry level fits your budget, ask us for the price list, the unit mix, the plans and the availability, and say whether the purchase is for letting or for your own use; the answer changes which floor and which unit type we would point you towards. We will add the resale stock we track in Dubai Sports City so the launch can be judged against buildings that already have tenants.
